abstract="Drinking practices and attitudes to alcohol among the members of a Southampton church were investigated by questionnaire (602 subjects) and by interviews (126 subjects). Teetotallers were older than drinkers, and included a higher proportion of women. They perceived their childhood upbringing and the teaching of the Bible as the main factors influencing them to abstain. Both teetotallism and alcoholism were more common among relatives of teetotallers than among relatives of social drinkers.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
